GTW Download wont work

Kiah911 wrote:I've searched this forum for hours and found no fix. The base game works just fine, but when i go to make active GTW in the "My Packs" section of the main menu, it tells me I have to be connected and have a registered version of the Sims 4 in Origin. 

I shut down Origin completely to see if that would help, but the game doesn't even start if I do that. I made it go offline and online and still the same message when I go to "My Packs". 

I downloaded the zip and copied all folders to the "Sims 4" folder in "program files x86" 

please help  I don't know what else to do.

Kiah911 wrote:No I know how to start the game lol you said "load your savefile" I didn't know what you meant by that. I'm playing a game currently, with the GTW pack installed from this site, but I have none of the content available to me in game.

//EDIT

But when I click that button it just resumes my current game.

I've done all these steps, but this is what the guide says:

=> NOTE: This is an expansion pack, so in order to be able to play it, you'll need the base game first!
You can download the base game, called "The Sims 4" from 
=> NOTE: The game might not work while Origin is running, so make sure that Origin is closed while running the game, OR put it in
"Offline Mode". If you are logged in with Origin running, the game will most likely not work, because Origin will detect that the
game is not officially linked to your account.(No need to worry about bans or anything though)
=> NOTE: Anti-virus software will most likely interfere with the included crack. There you should (temporarily) DISABLE YOUR
ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE COMPLETELY and then copy the files. After that, add ALL game folders to your anti-virus software's
exceptions list, as described here:



1. Drag and drop all the folders mentioned below from this .RAR file to the folder where you installed your
The Sims 4 base game to. If you installed the Games4theworld version of the base game, by default your
installation folder will be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\
A popup will appear, telling you the files and folders already exist. Choose "Copy and replace", to replace the old files
with the updated ones. Copy ALL the folders:

- __Installer
- Data
- Delta
- EP01
- FP01
- Game
- GP01
- Support

2. The game is pre-cracked with RELOADED's wonderful crack, so after copying all the folders, run the game and... ENJOY playing!

I re-installed and everything. There's nothing more I can apparently do, according to these guides. If anyone is willing to do remote view on my computer and see what the problem is that would be greatly appreciated.

Please join the forum's chatbox, at the top of the forum's main page (click on "Log in" there). I will see what I can do about it.

Sorry, I got disconnected.   Feel free to join the chat again when you see me online there.

If anyone knows any other downloads from other sites please send it my way  I'm so disappointed GTW doesn't work for me!

Thank you so much Carlos for your help!!
